Notes

  • Mix dry – I mix all the dry ingredients like flour, baking powder and spices together first. This helps distribute them evenly.
  • Cream butter – I cream butter and sugar well before adding egg. This makes the batter light and fluffy.
  • Don't over mix – I mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined. Over mixing makes the muffins tough and dense.
  • Right consistency – The batter should be thick but pourable. If too thick add little more milk.
  • Crumble texture – I rub the butter well with flour and sugar for the crumble topping. This gives nice sandy texture.
  • Fill properly – I fill the muffin liners halfway with batter then add crumble topping. This helps them rise evenly.
  • Cool completely – I let the muffins cool completely before adding glaze. Hot muffins will melt the glaze.
